Chief Quillin says he's sad to go but as he approaches his 60th birthday he says it's the perfect time.

“I want to relax, maybe find another job, but don't have any definite plans.”

City officials say the recruitment process for this high profile job usually takes four to six months. As you heard they'll search nationwide to find the perfect match and that person will earn a salary of about $90,000.

The union did not want to comment on the chief's track record with the department. It's offering to assist in recruiting a new chief and wish the chief and his family the best of luck.
